Sarah

Sarah lives in Kitale, Western Kenya with her husband and four children, all of whom are in school. She has been a farmer for the last eight years, producing milk and maize for sale in a local market. She is applying for a loan for 60,000 KES from Juhudi Kilimo to buy a motorcycle, which she plans to use to go into the transportation business. This motorcycle will also allow her to get her own goods to market more quickly and efficiently. Her biggest challenge is diseases which occasionally affect her animals.
